The music of Columbus, OH native Zach Koors seeks to bridge the classic with the contemporary making use of fresh harmony, inviting lyricism and his rhythmic background as a percussionist. Koors' music has been performed in places such as the National Flute Association Convention (2017) in Minneapolis, at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, at Belmont University in Nashville and at the University of Arizona in Tuscon, among many others. While impacting audiences across the country, Koors' work has also been described in his hometown as "organically composed music written to nourish its community." – Attend. Arts/Culture/Media
